Deputy Production Manager

Salary: 30,000- 35,000 per annum

Lloyd Recruitment Services are looking for a Deputy Production Manager to join a busy and creative team in the publishing and events industry.

This would suit someone with a background in design and production who enjoys being hands-on but is also happy to help manage a team and keep projects running smoothly. You'll work alongside the Production Manager, helping to organise the day-to-day workload, check the quality of work and make sure deadlines are met.

The role covers a real mix of projects, including magazines, digital content, marketing materials and event promotions, so no two days are likely to be the same.

Deputy Production Manager role will involve:

• Working on a range of design projects for print and digital.
• Checking artwork and making sure everything is accurate before it goes out.
• Helping other designers with their work and offering guidance where needed.
• Keeping track of projects, deadlines and the team's workload.
• Preparing files for print and liaising with printers to ensure everything runs to plan.
• Supporting the production of digital content, including email campaigns and online publications.
• Working with freelancers and external suppliers when required.
• Looking at ways to improve how work is organised and completed.
• Supporting the Production Manager with the smooth running of the department.

What we're looking for in the Deputy Production Manager:

• Experience in design and production, ideally within publishing, media, events or an agency.
• Good working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
• An understanding of print production and preparing artwork for print.
• Some experience with digital design and content.
• Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to work.
• Someone who can manage their time well and keep on top of several projects at once.
• Good communication skills and the confidence to work with different people across the business.
• Previous experience supporting or guiding other team members.

Experience working with freelancers, project management systems or automation tools would also be useful but isn't essential.

The opportunity

The salary is 30,000- 35,000, depending on experience. This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys design but is ready to take on more responsibility, helping to support a team and play a bigger part in the planning and delivery of creative projects.
